I am soooo confused by this update. There's too much to digest. Can someone give me a rundown of the main announcements? My brain is mush from trying to work from home and it's only been a week.
This is from memory and it's 1 AM, I may be forgetting something big and this is not necessarily in the right order, hope this is even readable:
1. Gala Alex
2. lots of login bonus stuff including Mini Zodi, co-op wyrmite being reset, endeavors, 3x drops, 2x refreshes etc.
3. story teased, Agito teased (one of them is a water enemy, Cygames REALLY wants me to eat my words about wind Spirals being last)
4. something about defense battles being a thing separate from FEH... this may have been part of the story thing, actually, I'm blanking
5. new raid teased for after Gala, boss is a Phrae reskin, has music by a guest artist, and some extremely chuuni units with cursed dragon arms that have a special transformation that buffs their stats, the banner is 2 parts
6. can now get Fafnir Medals from drops or endeavors; these can be traded for stuff like high dragon drops, void materials, and testaments
7. as of the update you can download on Android right now and iOS ???, co-abilities now affect your team and
not other players; every unit also has a second "chain co-ability" that vary from w/e to OP and can stack if multiple units on your team have the same one (these still only affect you, no co-ability affects co-op now) - aka your entire team is part of your equipment now and things are about to get
ridiculous
8. in the future there will be a system where you can bring 2 skills from your other units instead of your weapon (and helper) skill, even in co-op; there will be restrictions on what skills along with other restrictions like upgrading the units involved, but details are super vague in general
9. random stuff that's kinda big but being overshadowed like the encyclopedia function, some past events playable at all times (I think it's the Arctos fire facility event, DY water facility event, and Lowen/Louse's wind facility event currently?), etc.
10. FEH rerun followed by a new FEH event, but with no details teased for what the new event brings! FEH units get Mana Spirals
11. update notes have some other stuff like no more randomized drops/weeklies from high dragons, and horns being available in Experts weeklies similar to how Agito works for Standard (guess it's good I only used 1 weekly so far...)
So you get both the co-abilities and chain co-abilities buffs from your units and not from co-op party correct? The explanation sounds like the change only applies to old co-abilities and not the new chain one...
It could definitely be presented more clearly, but the Digest specifically says near the end of the section that both work the same way. Only you, not co-op. (And this is how it works in practice, Android users already have it playable.)
